Adult Siamese twins face four day separation operation

Ladan and Laleh Bijani, 29-year-old Iranian twins born joined at the head, will walk into a Singapore operating room on Sunday and sit down for separation surgery that is expected to last days and could kill one or both of them.

Laleh, the quieter but stronger-willed sister, decided they would walk into the operating room as a show of courage despite the risks, said Dr Keith Goh, the neurosurgeon who will lead the procedure.
